For those of us who work in an office, cold hands are no excuse for typos and gloves can make typing a nightmare. But where there's a will, there's a way, right? Well, here's a spin on one of our most ubiquitous office tools. ValueRays has created a mouse with embedded infrared heaters powered through its USB cord. The product's website says WarmMe is a passive therapy device that helps "ease joint pain" and "promote healthy and flexible joints." Now, if only we can address that other hand that doesn't use the mouse all day.

Got cold feet? No folks, this isn't the answer to your wedding day jitters. These heated insoles from ThermaCELL are designed to help keep your toes warm and make outdoor activities more enjoyable. A wireless remote control allows you to adjust the heat to a desired temperature. They even use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. In terms of comfort and durability, the lightweight cushions are actually designed to provide additional shock absorption and can run continuously for up to five hours. If layering your socks isn't doing the trick, this sounds promising.

Smartphone-controlled products like LED lightbulbs and door locks are helping us control our homes with the click of a button. But is there anything worse than waking up in the morning in a freezing cold home? Thankfully, as our everyday appliances get smarter, so can our thermostats. Nest, the learning thermostat, can be programmed to perfectly match your daily activities. Unique presets allow it to "learn" when you're in or out and make changes by itself to make you more comfortable. Of course, you also can operate it from your phone. The product claims to help you save up to 20% on your heating and cooling bills, while ensuring the house is always warm when you get out of bed.

It's hard to even think about being productive when you're suffering from the flu, not to mention having to choke down those bitter remedies stockpiled in your medicine cabinet. Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams says it has created a sweeter "flu-season fix." The Ohio-based company produces Influenza sorbet to fight symptoms such as sore throat, body aches and stuffiness. Inspired by a family remedy, this frozen dessert contains cayenne pepper, ginger, Maker's Mark bourbon, honey and other herbal ingredients aimed at treating those aches and pains of sickness. " 'Cures' whatever ails you," the company's website says. Well, at the least it might help you forget those flu-like symptoms momentarily.

You know the story: it's a new year, health and fitness are at the top of your resolutions list, then it all dies down after a month or two. To reverse the trend, the Gains Project by Kellogg's is looking to inspire people by asking "What will you gain when you lose?" The initiative is rooted in the belief that positive thinkers are more likely to see success with weight management efforts. Users are asked to choose a word tied to a positive feeling or milestone -- confidence, passion, joy -- as a way to encourage themselves before they start on their Special K challenge. When you upload your photo and goal to the "What Will You Gain Gallery," you can even watch a motivational video starring you.
